"It was a Japanese holiday, so the hotel was fully booked, and prices were 40% higher than usual. A four-person room with two meals cost about USD 770, which wasn't cheap at all, so I was really looking forward to it. However, the kaiseki dinner was very average, the worst meal I've had in recent years. Breakfast was a buffet from 7:00 to 9:00, and when we arrived at 8:15, there were still 20 people in line. We ended up waiting for half an hour to get a seat, which felt unprofessional. There were also facilities for children, which were quite special."

"The room was spacious, and the bathroom was clean—I was very satisfied. The breakfast was delicious, and the owner was lovely. I'll definitely stay here again."

"The hotel is very large, so it has many facilities and is well maintained. The service here is relatively friendly. Even though most of the waiters don't speak English, you can still feel their enthusiasm. The biggest advantage here is the unparalleled sea view, you can see the sunrise without leaving the room."

"Goodie wonderful place staff good recommend to come thanks"

"The hotel is located right by the sea, just a minute from the entrance to the beach. The room was spotless and clean, facing the ocean. Sitting by the window, sipping tea and chatting was so relaxing. I absolutely love this hotel and will definitely be back. The view from the hotel's open-air baths is also stunning. The men's and women's bathing areas swap locations daily, allowing for a different experience. Turning right after exiting the hotel is the Mikumayama trailhead. The castle tower at the summit is a must-see – a truly amazing experience you won't regret. The hotel staff were incredibly welcoming ❤️ and we felt right at home. 👍 Finally, I recommend trying the local specialty: Tamanegi (tama negi), which is incredibly sweet. 👍"

"Like the unique concept as a hotel. Enjoyed it very much. Especially the hairdryer. I must say every bit is very well thought out for creature comforts. The room is very spacious by Japanese standard. The room is equipped with a onsen/jacuzzi and provided with different salts. There is a self-help beverage bar with free beer and liquor. Enjoyed my stay and would recommend anybody to experience this resort-like hotel"

"Located in a residential area just off the main road, it was quiet, and there were plenty of restaurants within walking distance, making for a great location. The facility itself was beautifully renovated, spacious, and more comfortable than a hotel. However, I couldn't figure out how to check in. On the morning of my stay, I received an email with information about the parking lot and a contact number to call when I arrived. I replied that there was no parking available and that I would call when I arrived, but received no reply. When I arrived at the inn, I called the provided number, but no one answered—this process continued for over 20 minutes. I also called the reservation site listed on the reservation form, but it connected to a different site than the one I used to make the reservation, and they said they didn't know how to reach me. I had no choice but to ask for help from the shop next door, and someone from the inn finally came to help me. It was exhausting checking in."

"It was an old-fashioned building, and completely different from the pictures. The dinner looked luxurious, but the breakfast had no main course.... The bathroom also seemed to have not been cleaned, as dust would accumulate when you walked around the changing room."

"We had booked a room for 3 adults 3-4 months in advance, but when we arrived, we were 2 adults and 2 children (the eldest is 13 years old, so we booked a room for 3 people, but the younger one was only 5 years old, so Other hotels or B&Bs have not charged anything for many days, but they also include breakfast and accommodation. Only this "Plum Wood House" charged us JP$8000 Yen for 2 days of breakfast and accommodation for 2 children, and we booked 3 adults. The price of the room with breakfast for 3 adults was HK$2442. We had no problem and paid JP$8000 Yen in person when we checked in. However, they did not provide breakfast for the children the next morning and told us that if we could not make the reservation, we would be refunded JP$1000 Yen after check out. But in the end We didn’t cancel. Most of their rooms are also on 1/F, including us (it seems like the landlord is the only one downstairs). However, the shower rooms and toilets are in the underground G/F, and they only provide 1 room, 1 hour of shower use once a day, and Reservations need to be made 12 hours or more in advance (we made reservations after check-in and breakfast). It is very inconvenient to use. You have to go down the stairs every time, and the Japanese-style bed pillows need to be opened and packed away by yourself. Main attractions and beaches also need to be It takes half an hour or more to drive, so it is not recommended to stay here."
